James & Black Feat. Dj Phil Ross
Live At The N9
JAMES & BLACK creates a hybrid of Southern Soul and classic hip-hop, merging flavors of Texas and New Orleans with a heavy dose of Jay Dee/RZA/Tribe Called Quest. The result has been dubbed "Guerrilla Soul" referring to the "anyplace/anytime" attitude they have towards music. James & Black is on a mission, plain and simple. Live at N9 is the first official sonic offering from the Guerrilla Soul trio. Recorded in Eeklo, Belgium in December of 2012 at the famous N9, the recording captures the contagious chemistry of the trio that has been gaining popularity across Europe. The dynamic rhythm section of DJ Phil Ross and Bruce James (keyboards) create a soulfully edgy foundation for vocalists Bella Black and James to tell their stories. Their sound is fresh and familiar at the same time. The set features original compositions as well as rearrangements of Tom Petty's "American Girl", Sarah Vaughan's "Whatever Lola Wants", and Curtis Mayfield's "The Makings of You".
